The management of the New London Northern railroad has been blamed for al- lowing scalpers to buy up nearly all the cars on the observation train at the Yale Harvard race, but the officers of the road say they were powerless to help them selves, and that the scheme was put thro' in spite of their strenuous opposition. Out of the twenty-four cars, it is said, all but four were captured by the speculators, who were able to extort from passengers 8 [ price of from s to $5 each for single tick cts while the regular fare charged by the railroad was only $1 for each seat. A wealthy Norwich man, however, who found himself unable to procure single ticket for himself and family on the train, was successful in putting through quite as bright scheme as that of the spectators. As he couldn't got assingle ticket on cal he promptly decided to buy the whole car, and he did buy it, paying something over $80 for it. But having got the car he found that it's wholesale accommodations were more than were absolutely needed for six persons and so he put all the tick cts that he did not need on the market and there were readily sold at $1 50 apiece at Moves & Davis, in this city. Within 2 couple cf hours every ticket had been dis posed of The result of the scheme was that the Norwich man got all his money back, including the regular price for his own tickets, and he made just ten cents clear profit.

ARBOR DAY.

The first suggestion of tree planting un- der the direction of state authority was made by B. G. Northrop, then secretary of the Connecticut Board of Education, about 1865, in an official state report. In 1876 this same gentleman endeavored to stimulate centennial ree-planting" by the offer of prizes to the children of Con- necticut. But the idea of setting apart n day for the work had originated with ex- Governor Sterling Morton, of Nebraska, who about 1872 induced the governor of that state to issue proclamation appoint ing day for the planting of trees through out the state. A year or two later the day was made legal holiday by enactment of the legislature, and provision was made for awarding premiums to those who put out the most trees in it's observance. It is said that nearly 700, ,000, 900 arbor day trees are now in thriving condition on the prairie tracts of the states The example of Nebraska was soon followed by Kansas, \ and with good results Arbor day in Min. nesota, first observed in 1876, resulted, it is said, planting over a million and half of trees. In Michigan the arbor day law passed in 1881, and in Ohio in 1882. Since then arbor day has been observed in Con- .necticut, Colorado, Wisconsin, West Vir- ginia, Indiana, Vermont, New Hampshire, | NlhbsdCuuhGtJh, NSW Florida, Alabama, Missouri, California, Kentucky, Maine and Georgia In sev- eral other states its observance has been secured by the recommendation of the grange, the grand army of the republic, or by state agricultural societies. While at the outset economic tree planting was the primary aim, the adornment of home and school grounds soon followed. On the first Ohio arbor day, the children of Gin cinnati joined in an attractive celebration, in the form of planting memorial trees and dedicating them to authors, statesmen, and other distinguished citizens. B. G. Northrop says, concerning the value of the observance of arbor day: While for ests should not be planted on our rich, arabic lands, there are in New England and all the Atlantic states large areas of barrens worthless for field crops, that may proftably be devoted to wood growing. The feasibility of retaining our most sterile wastes is proved by many facts both at home and abroad. Our Atlantic sand plains were once covered with for ests and can be reforested. Over 10000 acres on Cape God, which thirty years ago were barren, sandy plains, are now cover. ed with thriving planted forests.--Inter | Ocean. e'

(Contributed.) HOLLAND COUNTY MEN IN HARTFORD.

E I now partly fulfill promise made long ago to you. In commencing the series, I almost shrink from the task, as there are so many to be brought out, my time and pen may not do justice to them or the end reached-hence, many may be omitted who help our city's prosperity. A former correspondent gave you a glowing account of Hon. Wm. W. Eaton, who has been the leader of the democracy ere the "mug- wump" was admitted to the fold He is well preserved, and enjoys the winters in Washington.
 Hon. Judge Waldo, who was a member of the eminent legal firm of Waldo, Hub bard & Hyde, is too well known in Holland County to render it necessary for me to give sketch. He passed away some time ago, full of years as we'll as honors Of the successors of that firm, three, certainly, your county can claim, Hon. Alvin P. Hyde, native of Stafford, and his two sons, both graduates of Yale, and now members of the firm. One of these young men had the honor of representing our city in the house the past winter. They are young men of high character, and bid fair to honor the stations to which they are called.
 The late M. R. West was also of Staf- ford. He also was a member of the house from our city, and obtained quite a large practice and also considerable influence as a politician. A man of energy, rising of his own will, he assumed place of mark. Not being strong of physique he passed from among us in the prime of manhood
 Another law firm, the members of which you know and claim for your county-Jos- lyn x Hyde-occupy prominent position, the first named having been a candidate for mayor and connected with our city courts in an official way. His partner worthy son of Ex-Gov E. H. Hyde. While going over your town and Holland do not let us forget that Bolton, with her rocky hills, is in. your county, and from her hill-tops comes another lawyer-a gen. tleman Ill all ways, popular, as he deserves to be, among all-Hon. George Sumner occupying many positions of trust also a man of marked influence in the council chambers of the democracy
 As 1 write my memory calls up a man from Coventry, who is known all through the state-a former officer of state. clerk of the courts, &c., for many years past Hon. Chauncey Howard, whose farm over looks the fine lake at South Coventry. He IS a gentleman universally respected by men of all parties.
 have merely given n nasty glance of lawyers prominent in our city, who have a local interest, but belong by birth to your county. Some may have escaped my mo- tice. may at future time take up the merchants who are Holland County men, and are connected with our largest busi- ness. Do not expect am going to give an extended biographical account of each man. My time is limited. Newspaper articles are not in my line. If the above 4 is of any interest will try and show how well old Holland County, does in helping shape the fortunes of Hartford. The young will see, if they look carefully among leading business men, that they or. iginate ill the country towns. H. T. s.

Young People Probably many chil- dren, and older folks, too, who are fond of these delicious berriesrhave often wonder ed why tlley should be called straw berries. Here is the reason ~sSs GE

She was eating delicious plate ful of them and as they were heaped high on the dish, sprinkled with sugar and GOV cred with cream, they were very Inviting. But why were they strawberries, and, not red-berries, blush berries, or best berries Because. dear, I told her, they grow on the ground on pretty running vine, and are found strewn, or strawn anong bheir green leaves. From strewn or strawn ber- ries the way is short to strawberries, which name slips easily over the lips ill our talk. ,
